Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The Insect King is Present

Before liberation, all kinds of arts were born, and all kinds of professions were mixed. Among the performers, there were those who cheated people's money with their lips and tongues, and some with real swords and guns and real skills.The idea of ​​the ancestors respecting the heaven and the ancestors is deeply rooted in the hearts of these craftsmen. They all devote their lives to carrying forward their family's unique skills. Some families focus on a unique skill and pass it down from generation to generation. After several generations of immersion, Many people have become leaders in their industry.In the past, people liked to be called kings and princes. If someone had unpredictable skills in a certain industry, they were usually called kings.And the Zong Wang is such a person. Rather than saying that he is a person, it is better to say that the Zong Wang is a respectful title for their entire family.It is said that the earliest generation of insect breeders in this family can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. The ingredients of the ancestors were not good, because it seemed that they raised scorpions and poisonous insects for King Zhou, and then threw people into them for food every day.But China has this advantage. As long as you have a little bit of air with the royal family, your status will be extremely respected. This family of insect kings has finally begun to be deified after raising insects for thousands of years. It is said that members of their family can "violate the order of the four seasons" , Urge all insects to come out of their nests, defy the law of heaven and earth, and make flowers and butterflies fly white snow", that is to say, the people in their family can violate the four seasons and twenty-four solar terms, and can make them come out of their holes in the season when insects are dormant. Let the butterflies flutter when the snow is flying.What's even more amazing is that they can command hundreds of insects, and wherever they go, they evade them. It is said that members of their family possess unpredictable skills.

There are many legends about their family in unofficial history. There is such a record in the legendary novel "Liuhe Waizhi" of the Tang Dynasty: Liu Siqi, a scholar from Yuanling County, went to Chang'an to take the exam. Looking around, I saw an old man in black crying by the weeping willow. The fisherman next to him asked each other, and he replied: "Tomorrow, his family will be robbed. Thousands of people, big or small, will not be spared!" Trees can be saved!" On the second day, the scholar was about to cross the river, but he heard people making noise on the side of the embankment, so he watched closely, when the masons were repairing the embankment, black ants with a size of thousands of meters broke their nests and fell into the water, and the scholar hurriedly ordered the fishermen to cut them down. A nearby tree fell, thousands of black ants attached to it, and they were rescued. At night, a black-clothed man fell into a dream to thank the scholar.Later, before the examination of the emperor in the palace of scholars, there was a poem "Be like Huo Wei Lingyan, and the horse rides on the barbarians to look forward to Chang'an". , Presented to the emperor for imperial reading, the emperor smiled and said: "How little is there!" The examiner looked at it, and there were black clusters in the missing pen, and tried it with his hands.

"Damn, it's too amazing, right? But, what does this have to do with the family of the worm king? Isn't this a story of the gods and worms repaying favors! There are countless things in the legendary story." I interrupted Old Zhong with disdain narration. "Hehe, it seems that you really need to learn a lot!" Professor Fan couldn't help laughing. I stared at the helpless old Zhong with a confused face, with a question mark on his head. "Boy, have you ever heard your grandfather say 'Mobei bird, Jiangnan fish, Yellow River dragon can't suppress the Central Plains insect'?" Old Zhong asked me.

"No, but I heard Grandpa Jin Yong talk about the supernatural powers of the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar, and the old urchin who is evil in the east and poisonous in the west." I replied with a playful smile. Yes. Old Zhong was furious when he heard this, and without a word, he took off his shoes and beat me up, claiming to teach me a lesson for my grandfather, but Professor Fan quickly stopped him, and I quickly apologized when I saw something was wrong, fortunately, the old man's anger came and went quickly Anxious, I was soothed by my ecstasy soup and low-key apology.But Lao Zhong still looked at me with a tiger face.

"Okay, don't tell him these things, these cuts from the old society and the old families that have been handed down, let alone us, even the old guys from the past don't know much, let alone these young guys .” Professor Fan hurriedly pulled Old Zhong back. "Do you know why I told you that story just now?" Professor Fan asked me.I shake my head. The old clock threw over a book at the beginning, and on the bookmarked page, there were a few lines marked with a red pen: After Qin unified the six kingdoms, the system of prefectures and counties was implemented.In the seventeenth year of Shihuang (230 BC), Yuanling County was established in the northeast of Xinzheng County, and Yuanling City, the government office, belonged to Yingchuan County.In the early Western Han Dynasty, Yuanling belonged to Henan County.During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, it belonged to Henan Yin.In the second year of Jintai (AD 266), Xinzheng County was merged into Yuanling County and belonged to Xingyang County.In the early years of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (about 534 A.D.), Yuanling belonged to Guangwu County.During the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties, Yuanling County was changed to Xingzhou, and the Wei family was merged into Yuanling.In the early years of Sui Daye (about 605 A.D.), Bingyuanling entered Xinzheng and belonged to Xingyang County, Yuzhou.In the fourth year of Tang Wude (621 AD), Yuanling County was restored.In the first year of Zhenguan (627 A.D.), Yuan Mausoleum was abolished and entered Xinzheng.

After reading this paragraph, I immediately thought that the scholar in the story is also from Yuanling: "Could it be that the scholar in the story is from Xinzheng?" Professor Fan replied with a smile: "Yes!" "Doesn't that mean that the family of the insect king is in Xinzheng?" I was even more surprised. "Yes," said Professor Fan, "that scholar is not only from Xinzheng, but also from the family of the Insect King. The so-called Ant God repaying his favor is a way of covering up his use of post-insect surgery, but the real explanation should be: the Liu family The scholar discovered his clerical error, so he dispatched a team of ants to make up for the lack of writing for him."

While we were talking, someone knocked on the door, and a young man came in, that unbelievable graduate student Song Xudong. He put my copper coin on a white silk handkerchief in his hand, and went straight to Professor Fan and whispered something in Professor Fan's ear. .Professor Fan glanced at me and found that I was staring at the copper coin in his hand. He smiled and waved Song Xudong back, then handed me the copper coin. I took the copper coin and looked at it, and then hung it around my neck. Lao Zhong and Lao Miao exchanged a look—even though the look was very hidden, I still saw it. moth.

Sure enough, Lao Zhong saw that I had put on the copper coin and asked me with a smile: "Is there no class in your school next week?" I lowered my head to get the copper coin and said to myself: "Yes, the International Exchange Cultural Festival, It is said that the United States will send several cultural exchange groups over this year, and I heard that there will also be a large investment group coming with them, so the school’s activities this year will be more grand.” When I said this, my heart moved. What a good thing. "Well, it's like this, you know, there's still blood from the back of Uncle Zhong's brain that hasn't been drawn out, and only the King of Worms can remove these things smoothly, so we want you to go to Longdian Town in the northeast of Xinzheng Please ask the descendants of the King of Worms to come out and treat Uncle Zhong." Professor Fan seemed to be begging for help with a heart-to-heart look.

I looked at him suspiciously.He hurriedly said: "Oh, I have to go back to school soon, and I can't leave for too long. Your Uncle Zhong is sick, so you must not run around." He suddenly said seriously, "Actually, I sent you The real reason for going is difficult for us to say, because in a certain era, their Liu family was attacked as an alien, and many descendants of the Liu family were unwilling to deal with the authorities. Only your grandfather saved their family in Shouyang Mountain. , that's why I wanted you to go, it's easier to talk!" No wonder you speak so kindly and go around such a big circle, so it turns out that there is something you want from me!Haha, I feel relieved, since you have something to ask for from me, then the lion can ask for conditions.

"I want an assistant!" I started to attack. "Okay, no problem!" Lao Zhong readily agreed. "I still need a car." "Yes, I will provide you with a driver!" Professor Fan agreed on Lao Zhong's behalf. "I want you to return the things I brought up when I went to the grave!" I mentioned a difficult one. Sure enough, the two old fellows glanced at each other, and the old Zhong made a slap gesture to Professor Fan, obviously seeing Professor Fan take a deep breath. "You can return both Shark Tears and Shark Oil," Old Zhong thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, "but I can't give you evil spirits, I can only lend you for use." After saying this Afterwards, he was obviously sucking his teeth, and even looked at Professor Fan inquiringly.Professor Fan nodded affirmatively.

What?To ward off evil spirits?When I found out that the dagger brought out from the cursed copper tripod was called "Repelling evil spirits", I went crazy with joy. When Nie Zheng assassinated the king of Han, he shared two murder weapons, one was the famous "White Rainbow" and the other The short blade tucked in the bosom is "to ward off evil spirits". I looked at the three treasures excitedly, my heart was turbulent, and my mind was in a mess. For my own life, Lao Zhong could ignore the principle and let me run around with the ancient weapon. I was thinking about what unfulfilled wish I still have, and took this opportunity to hit him with a huge bamboo stick. Let solve the girlfriend problem?This is certainly not realistic.Otherwise, let them say hello to the teacher and tell me not to fail this year. I was excited, the beauty in my heart, but at this moment, their words made my heart full of enthusiasm, which suddenly turned into a basin of cold water. Lao Zhong pointed to the young man standing next to him with his hands down and said to me, "Let me introduce you to your assistant and driver, Song Xudong, a postgraduate student at Hubei University!" My smile froze on my face in an instant, Song Xudong stood aside respectfully, with an imperceptible and weird smile on the corner of his mouth. The next morning, Song Xudong and I drove a broken Santana 2000 onto the road to Longdian Town.To be honest, this section of the road is quite flat, which caused me to almost fall asleep in the car while reading the materials.After getting off the highway, we started to walk on the country dirt road and went straight to our destination.When I called back to ask my grandfather what the Liu family had to do with ours, the old man laughed and said it was all right, go, go, but his house is a bit remote, I'm afraid it's hard for you to find it.Before leaving, I deliberately found a map of Xinzheng, and finally found the destination of our trip—Liukou Village in the corner near the northeast, which is next to an ancient temple and belongs to the famous Longdian Town. Longdian Town, an ancient town in Xinzheng, is said to be the old town of Yuanling, with rich soil and water, and has been a heavy grain production area since ancient times.This place has been an important traffic road since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, the Long family opened a hotel here. A generation of prime ministers, Gao Gong, a Xinzheng native, rested here when he returned to his hometown in plain clothes. Gathering people into a town, it was named Longdian Town. When I was reading this material, there was an item that attracted me, and that was an item presented by the magistrate of Xinzheng County who came to inquire about his identity when he punished the bully——Seven Treasure Dragon Seal Box .This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere, and I was about to ask Song Xudong who was driving next to him, when the car stopped suddenly, and my head hit the front seat heavily, I gave Song Xudong an annoyed look, and saw him I pouted my mouth forward, and it turned out that we had already arrived at Liukou Village, but the scene in front of me made me puzzled. I saw a group of people kneeling in white in front of the car, all of them were dressed in linen and filial piety, and their bodies were all white.Not far away, there is Suona in Lingpeng, and there is a big performance of "Sun Wukong's Havoc in the Underworld and Outlining the Book of Life and Death".The two of us hurriedly got out of the car, and after careful inquiring, we found out that this is the oldest, most senior, and most experienced Mr. Liu in Liukou Village.When I asked the person in charge, don't talk about the family of insect kings, they are basically talking with ducks about our problems. "It's hard to catch small bugs these days? Do you feed them chickens or turtles?" The uncle in charge had a simple and honest look on his face, and he regarded us as buyers of feed in the pig farm. "Insect king? What insect king?" He interrupted us with his authentic Yuzhong accent, "You are talking about the insecticide brand insecticide, right? I don't have it here, but the station has it!" After a long time Only then did I realize that the station they were talking about was Longdian Town. The Beijing-Guangzhou Line used to have a passenger station here, so the common people still used to call it the station.Just when we wanted to ask more questions, a middle-aged woman in filial piety ran over and whispered something to him, and his expression changed suddenly: "His mother's feet, this little brat is so unfilial, go find him Several people tied him back!" The uncle in charge yelled, he glanced at us, and said a little embarrassedly: "Wait a minute, there is a child in the family who is disobedient and won't come to kowtow, I will go and see!" Then he walked like flying walked away. We politely declined the kindness of other people to leave us a meal, returned to the car with thirsty mouths, and looked at each other with helpless smiles.This trip was a waste of time. "Let's go back to town. Professor Fan told me before leaving that if you can't find a place, you can go to the town to find the company director of the police station." Song Xudong suggested. When we arrived at the police station, there were only two female policemen in charge of household registration. After contacting the director of the company, I found out that a robbery had occurred in a jewelry and gold store in the town. They were on the scene, so we drove to the square in the center of the town. Due to the rapid development in the past two years, Longdian Town has entered the top 100 towns in the country. Its economic strength should not be underestimated, and its relative industries are well-developed. Along the way, there are supermarkets, electrical appliances firms, and various fashion clothing stores.The gold and silver jewelry store where the robbery happened is located in the most prosperous section of the square.From a distance, it could be seen that the entire gold shop had been sealed off, and a large group of onlookers were isolated three meters away.The director of the company, a capable policeman in his thirties, received us. He had already received a call from Lao Zhong, and he already knew what happened to us, but he suddenly received a report in the morning, saying that a bizarre robbery had taken place, so Hastily rushed to the scene. "Strange Heist?" I was curious to hear that word.What kind of robbery can be called bizarre?I feel a little weird. "Yes, it's a bit strange at the moment. The doors and windows are intact, and the surveillance video has not been damaged. There is no trace of violence in the whole scene, and all the gold products are gone!" It can be seen that even all the Long is very distressed. "Damn it, isn't that like Chu Liuxiang, who walks on the snow without a trace, comes and goes without a trace, and behaves like a thief." I followed suit blindly.The first thought that flashed through my mind was "Cheat insurance!" But the fat proprietress wailed and denied my idea: "My mother, even my gold earrings were stolen, so many things , I haven’t bought insurance in my store yet!” "What? Your earrings were stolen too?" Director Lian frowned, "Why didn't you just say that?" "I didn't find out just now. I was looking at the things in the store this morning. Who would have thought that the earrings I put on the bedside table were gone." The proprietress was so anxious that she burst into tears and pinched her fat thighs in anger. "Take us to your bedroom to have a look!" The director told the proprietress to stop crying first.Song Xudong and I took a look, and followed a group of policemen up to the proprietress' bedroom on the second floor without saying a word. This is a typical northern dwelling. The upstairs is the living room and the downstairs is the store. They are all made of aluminum alloy doors and windows. Since it is the end of summer and early autumn, and the heat has not dissipated, the windows of the upstairs living room are not closed tightly, but According to the proprietress, the doors and windows were the same before I went to sleep, and they were still the same when I woke up, without any change. After taking photos and collecting evidence, nothing was found.Since her husband was looking at the store downstairs and she slept upstairs, she put the earrings on the bedside table the night before. According to her, the earrings were inconspicuous except that they were made of pure gold. Even if they were sold, they would not be sold. a few dollars.And there is a strange phenomenon, thieves seem to only love gold products, but seem indifferent to other diamond and platinum products. A policeman next to him muttered softly, "Could it be that the six ghosts are lucky?" The one who spoke was a very thin and unremarkable little policeman.His words caught our attention, and just when I was about to ask him, the director of the company gave him a hard look, and the little policeman immediately suppressed his voice. "Liugui Yuncai!" I muttered this sentence repeatedly, feeling someone pinch me lightly from behind, and when I looked back, I saw Song Xudong winking and winking at me. "Is there something wrong?" I squeezed out of the crowd and asked him secretly.He had a weird smile on his face: "Speaking of Liugui Yuncai, I suddenly thought of something." "What?" I was a little puzzled. "Xinzheng implemented the cremation system two years ago, and no fuss is allowed in any funeral!" "Cremation? Don't worry, what did we see today?" I suddenly thought of the astonishing funeral banquet we saw in the morning. "There must be something mysterious in it, I think, we'd better sneak back to Liukou Village again!" Song Xudong said with certainty. Together, the two of us decided to sneak back to Liukou Village at night, so we bid farewell to the director of the company.We declined the suggestion of the director of the company to send someone to go with us, and we planned to store the car in the office and change into local clothes and go again. "There is a Qiuji Temple not far from Liukou Village. The temple fair is in full swing now. When Lao Zhong called in the morning, he asked you to visit the temple fair." Before leaving, the director Lian made a special explanation. "Qiuji Temple? Temple fair?" How could Lao Zhong suddenly give such a nondescript order? Could there be something special discovered at the temple fair? We discussed it, and Song Xudong insisted on visiting the Liujialing shed at night. As soon as I expressed my disagreement, Comrade Xiao Song laughed at me as a coward. Coward, damn it, I'm going to die of anger, when I was born and died in the Han tomb, you were still picking up girls in school, right?However, I still agreed with his proposal. Since Liukou Village is not far from Qiuji Temple, we decided to use the afternoon to visit Qiuji Temple, and wait until it gets darker before diving into Liukou Village at night. It can also avoid attracting the attention of others. Qiuji Temple is about five kilometers away from Longdian Town. Although it is not very far, it is still boring for two people to walk.On the way, I asked him why he had such a big reaction when he heard "Six Ghosts for Fortune". He smiled and said that it was because he knew someone would use "Six Ghosts for Fortune". "What, is there really a 'six ghosts luck' technique?" I had an unbelievable expression. "Not only has it been used, but someone has actually used it!" He said with a determined look, "Have you heard of 'Rabbit Immortal Pihu'?" "No!" I shook my head, "Tell me, tell me, anyway, there is still a long way to go." As soon as I heard there was a story in it, I excitedly urged him to tell it, so as to pass the boring journey. Rabbit Fairy Pihu is a small animal shaped like a rabbit. According to legend, they usually live in the grain storehouses of residential houses. As long as there is a Rabbit Fairy Pihu in the house, this kind of small animal will gather in groups on the night of the full moon. He went out and brought back a large amount of gold, silver and jewels for the host of the sojourner.But because Rabbit Immortal Pihu is an evil god like the mule god Wutong, although it can bring wealth, it will still bring bad luck to the owner in the end, and eventually lead to the destruction of the owner's family, so many decent people would rather not get rich than such a small Things live in the house, but there are also greedy people who deliberately set up sacrifices to lure the rabbit fairy skin to live in for the sake of money. On the night of the 15th day, when the bright moon is in the sky, after midnight, set up a sacrificial table in the wilderness, put a statue of a rabbit fairy on it, place it for worship, and write your name and address on the table, and the rabbit fairy Pihu will come upon invitation. There are traces of rabbit claws on the mirror-like wheat pile, which shows that Rabbit Immortal Pihu has already lived in the house. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar surnamed Wang, who was very poor and his family was completely destitute. He accidentally saw the method of recruiting the Rabbit Immortal Pihu from a note of the predecessors, and ignored the book "do not recruit, it is ominous, and the money is full. The family is heartbroken" warning, borrow candles and incense from the neighbor's house, and offer sacrifices to the Rabbit Immortal Pihu on the night of the full moon. Sure enough, Rabbit Fairy Pihu came at the invitation. With the help of Rabbit Fairy Pihu, the scholar surnamed Wang quickly prospered. He got a wife, and then bought a thousand hectares of fertile land and became a wealthy landlord. .It turned out that he was poor and destitute at the expense of his life, so he dared to take the risk to sacrifice the fairy skin of the rabbit. Now that he is prosperous and rich, the warning in the book flashed in the scholar's mind from time to time, so the scholar of the Wang family asked an expert to expel him in vain. Rabbit Immortal Pihu.Finally, he found a wandering Taoist priest. After listening to the narration, the Taoist priest said that there was only one way to save him. After returning home, the scholar did not disperse the family wealth as the Taoist said, but boiled oil with human bones to light the lamp. Finally, on the night of the full moon, he saw the Rabbit Immortal Pihu who was carrying jewelry to his house. It turned out that it was not a Rabbit Immortal Pihu. , but a group of animals in the shape of rabbits worked together to carry things into the food store, and there was an old rabbit with long beards beside him, and this old rabbit could speak human language.The old rabbit said that the master must have been instructed by an expert to see us, but seeing us is also a fate, is there anything else the master wants?The scholar said that he didn't have anything else he wanted, but he still had one wish unfulfilled, so he specially hosted a banquet for you tonight.After hearing this, the old rabbit turned into a human form, and the little rabbits carrying things also turned into seven or eight-year-old children one after another, so the scholar led them to a room prepared in advance, where various exquisite meals were placed. After the group of rabbit fairies finished eating and drinking, the leader asked the scholar if the master had any unfinished wishes, and the scholar suddenly showed a grim face, saying that your death is my greatest wish. After finishing speaking, he withdrew from the door, ordered the four doors to be closed tightly, and then closed all the doors and windows with the charms he asked for. After the poisonous oil from the people eaten by the rabbit fairy developed, he set fire to the house, and the fire burned in the middle of the night before dawn. When the scholar opened the door, he saw a flash of white light, counted and found that there were seven dead rabbits on the ground, except for the long-bearded old rabbit, the scholar was very nervous, but after a few days Nothing happened in the past year, and the scholar quickly relaxed. Decades passed in a blink of an eye, and the scholar soon became old. He left the tens of thousands of wealth for his only son and then left. Who knew that this son was a prodigal son, who had everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling to smoking. He lost all his family property. He used to only hear his mother say that his father made his fortune by relying on the Rabbit Fairy to move his fortune, so he pestered his mother to ask his father how to sacrifice to the Rabbit Fairy back then. His mother was forced by his son There was no other way, so he ignored the old man's dying confession, so he gave the book to his son.Although the family was in a decadent state, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. The 250-year-old son went to the village to worship the Rabbit Fairy with great fanfare for several nights, but he didn't see the Rabbit Fairy staying in the food store at home.Just when this prodigal son was disappointed, an old man approached him. The old man scolded him as soon as they met, and beat him with a stick while scolding, saying that his unfilial son ruined his family property and ruined his reputation. Evil God?The prodigal son was beaten into a dizzy state, and after finally waiting for the old man to calm down, after careful questioning, he found out that the old man turned out to be the senior brother surnamed Wang Shusheng. brother?That prodigal son is a little confused.Yes, the old man drank his tea and nodded, and asked the prodigal son: "Do you know why your father got rich so quickly back then?" The prodigal son said that the rabbit fairy moved it.The old man said that was nonsense. "Your father failed in his studies, so he went to Longhu Mountain and I prayed under the throne of the Celestial Master. The Celestial Master saw that your father was destined to be a fairy, so he taught him the magic of Jingtianweidi, but your father accidentally participated in it. "Liu Ding Liu Jia wealth fortune technique", he secretly went down the mountain, and then used this spell to move so much wealth for himself, the celestial master was furious, and intended to punish your father, but I begged hard to let your father go. However, the Heavenly Master and his elders knew about your random offerings to evil gods and setting up altars a few days ago, so I was asked to check, nephew, you should quickly remove the altar and live in peace!" The prodigal son was distracted by the old man's words, so he quickly withdrew the altar and entertained the old man to stay at home.Although he said he wanted to recruit the Rabbit Fairy, but the prodigal son soon had other ideas, and finally got it out of the old man's mouth when he was drunk: back then, in order to thank his senior brother for pleading in front of the celestial master, his father put This "six Ding Liujia money transfer technique" was passed on to the old man.So the prodigal son threw himself in front of the old man and begged the old man to pass on this spell to him. The old man said in embarrassment that this spell sounds nice and is called "Liu Ding Liu Jia Moves Wealth Technique", but it is actually called "Six Ghosts Lucky Fortune". , this spell is extremely sinister and hurts human relations, it is better not to learn it, your father also took great risks to use this spell back then. The prodigal son said that it doesn't matter, since ancient times, it is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, as long as it can revive the family tradition, it doesn't matter anything.The old man smiled and said okay, then I will teach you, you have to prepare six bones, and then do this and that.Hearing this, the prodigal son's eyes lit up, and he dug new graves of the six families that night, dug up the bones of six people, and then cast spells according to the method taught by the old man. Sure enough, that night, six people who were lying in the house well All the fresh corpses disappeared, and they returned to the room before dawn, wearing gold and silver jewelry and various jewels on their bodies.The prodigal son was overjoyed when he saw it, he took all these things off, and then went to smoke a big cigarette, but these things disappeared without much tossing, so the prodigal son cast another spell to let these corpses go out again.But one night passed, and the corpses were still lying in disorder in the room without any movement. After several nights of silence, the prodigal son became anxious and went to look for the old man again.The old man sucked his teeth and said: "Oh, this is so difficult. This corpse can only be used once, and it won't work the second time. You have to find the corpse again!" Hearing this, the prodigal son was a little dumbfounded. Where could he find so many fresh corpses?But the old man saved him with the last sentence: "There is a method, which can once and for all refine these six ghosts for you." The prodigal son was overjoyed and asked what method. "Other people's corpses can only be used once, but the corpses of your immediate blood relatives can be used repeatedly. They can move money for you repeatedly." The old man said a ground-breaking method. This prodigal son was a little silly: "Where can I get fresh corpses of blood relatives? My father's bones have been melted for several years! Do you want me to..." He made a gesture of cutting a knife viciously.The old man flew into a rage when he heard this: "I'm just saying that, I didn't ask you to kill people and collect corpses. Such a violation of human relations, it's just, it's just..." The old man angrily ignored the prodigal son He tried to persuade them to stay again and insisted on leaving their house. The prodigal son had no choice but to run hundreds of miles to look for the freshly buried corpses, but he was almost caught several times. Those corpses that had been moved once were piled up in the house, and the corpses were decomposing day by day, smelling bad. The air drifts out from time to time, which has attracted everyone's attention.The prodigal son couldn't find a new corpse for several days, so he didn't make any money. After the smoke was broken, it was extremely difficult, and his whole body was filled with heartache. Finally, he took a knife and sneaked into his mother's room laughing. , I heard him call out: "Mother, you will make my son's life rich and honorable!" The next day, the yamen received a report from the chief security officer, saying that the original owner of Qianqing, the young master of the Wang family, had committed a serious case of extermination. He killed six people, including his mother and sisters, in one night. A number of corpses were found, and according to investigation, all of them were people who disappeared for no reason during this period.This is almost a shocking case, which shocked the government and the public, and went straight to the heaven.In the end, the prodigal son was sentenced to beheaded at the waist, which broke the rule that prisoners should not be beheaded at the waist since the Yongzheng year.On the night when the prodigal son was cut in half, in a wilderness, someone saw an old man praying to the moon among seven small mounds and crying. His story is bloody and chilling.I forced a smile and said, "You really have a talent for telling stories. Where did you hear this ghost story?" "My tutor, his ancestor was the county magistrate who tried that prodigal son." Song Xudong said expressionlessly. My heart skipped a beat. His expression didn’t seem like he was joking at all. People say that the wind is the shadow of the rain. Maybe there is such a thing. The scholar is just a thief who robs wet tombs, the kind who specializes in stealing people's shrouds.It may be that he didn't pay attention when disposing of the corpse and was discovered by others, so there is a technique of moving money with fresh corpses and six ghosts.When I stated my inference, Song Xudong smiled and said that you were really mistaken, this story is actually an anecdote about the most mysterious family in the tomb robbery circle, but because of the long time, it is inevitable that there is a romance part . "Which one is it?" I asked him.He smiled and said you will know later.Damn, I despise him for entertaining me. When I was thinking wildly, there were bursts of gongs and drums in front of me, and the noisy voices gradually increased. Looking forward, I saw that people from a distance began to increase in twos and threes. Sachets, or holding amulets from Qiuji Temple. Qiuji Temple, also known as Dongyue Temple, is located on the sand hill in the east of Longdian Town, 15 kilometers northeast of Xinzheng City. The date of its construction is unknown.According to the inscriptions on several stone steles unearthed in Xinzheng, Tang Wude restored Yuanling County in four years, the founding fathers Wei Chi Jingde and Guo Ziyi rebuilt Dongyue Temple; Yue Temple; in the 14th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1535), Gao Shangxian, Gao Jie, and Gao Gongli wrote "Reconstruction of Dongyue Temple Stele"; Qing Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Guangxu, and Xuantong. The monument of meritorious deeds of the Yue Temple, and the inscription on the restoration of the Dongyue Temple by Xu Shichang, President of the Beiyang Warlord Government during the Republic of China, etc.According to legend: Dongyue Temple covers an area of ​​340 mu, facing south, with a symmetrical and strict architectural layout, with three courtyards.The gate of the mountain is five rooms wide and ten meters deep, with double eaves resting on the mountain, and two ministers are molded inside.There are more than 50 stone steles standing behind the mountain gate, known as the forest of steles.The pines and cypresses are lush and green, especially the "niao cypress" is the most valuable.Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor and Chang Bo won the battle against Chi You, and it was planted in memory of the hero Chang Bo.The main hall is five rooms wide and fifteen meters deep, with cornices, a roof of yellow glazed tiles, bucket arches and flying wings, resplendent and resplendent. The inner sculpture is Dongyue Tianqi Rensheng, who is in charge of the life and death of the people. It is the incarnation of Huang Feihu, the hero who destroyed Zhou and revived Zhou.In the east and west wing rooms, there are ten Yan Jun statues, and there are seventy-five divisions inside.The back hall is the sleeping palace, five rooms wide, and the single-eave Xieshan top hall is where the Dongyue Emperor and the Empress are worshipped. The east side is the Sanxian Temple, and the west side is the Grandma Hall.Finally, above the thirteen steps in the north is the Tiandi Pavilion.On the north side of the courtyard on the east side of the pavilion is the first ancestor hall specially built for the human ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi to subdue monsters and control the water here. It is three rooms wide and five meters deep.There are also Nong Palace, Yaowang Palace, Fire God Palace, Wenchang Pavilion, Xueyi House and Taoist dormitories, which are magnificent.There are seven iron bells of different sizes in the Bell and Drum Tower in the temple.It is a pity that such a glorious Taoist temple disappeared in the flames of war in the past dynasties. After liberation, there are still more than a thousand buildings of various kinds, but they were gradually razed to the ground in various movements.Because Qiuji Temple is a rare temple that combines two religions, that is to say, Buddhism and Taoism are enshrined in the temple. Therefore, it is said that there is a huge underground palace underground, hiding the treasures of towns and temples hidden in Qiuji Temple of various dynasties, but Most of them are only known by name.During the Central Plains War, the famous idiot warlord Zhang Zongchang once set foot here to find the entrance to the underground palace, but was quickly driven away by General Feng Yuxiang's troops.According to legend, after Japan surrendered during the Anti-Japanese War, wounded Japanese soldiers were abandoned here, rescued by monks in the Taoist temple, and returned home after recovering from their injuries.In the early 1990s, the local people funded the reconstruction of Qiuji Temple. It was rumored that Japanese friends donated huge sums of money, but it was no longer possible to restore the former grandeur of Qiuji Temple. Today's Qiuji Temple only has a simple Taoist temple of nearly 1,000 square meters, but on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, local people will come here to offer incense, and the annual temple fair is even more lively, with various performing arts and operas There are a variety of snacks and snacks, and all kinds of folk wonders compete to perform. As we get closer to the temple fair, there are more and more lively crowds. The intersection leading to Qiuji Temple has already been lined with tents and vendors, all kinds of snacks, tricks, and sugar. People, those blowing marshmallows, and those with flowers, birds, insects, and fish are crowded in front of them. Those who sell fried tofu, offal soup, and meat are steaming on top of the fire. As for the plaster, just as we were immersed in the atmosphere of this temple fair with a strong rural atmosphere, suddenly there were crowds moving in one direction in front of us, and some people whispered: "Go and see, you killed someone!" Someone next to him immediately interrupted him: “别乱说，是表演砍头！”一个老太太双手合十，核桃一样的嘴里一瘪一瘪：“作孽啊，那么小的孩子，活生生把头给砍掉了！” “活人砍头？”我惊疑地看着宋旭东，只见他眉毛动了动，示意我们跟上那些向前涌动的人群。 就在离庙会不远的地方，一个白布围开的场子，四周黑压压地围了一群人，场子的正中间是一大一小两个年轻人，大点的年轻人星眉朗目，一张瘦削的脸庞，却穿了一件旧式的对襟大褂，初秋的天气已稍有寒意，而这个年轻人却依然是单褂。另外是一个约有十三四岁大的孩子，十分瘦弱，但是脑袋却出奇的大，给人的感觉好像是一颗豆芽菜上顶了一个大豌豆。 只见那大点的少年冲四周一抱拳，用一口黄河北的口音说：“各位伯伯叔叔，大娘婶婶，我们兄弟是外地人，为赶明年的马街书会提前来到河南，借这个庙会给大家表演一点家传的玩意儿，挣个吃饭落脚的花销，大家看了说好，就扔俩子儿，大家看了说不好，也千万不要骂，更别报案，因为咱们兄弟的玩意儿都是假的，犯不着浪费大家的两毛钱手机费！”他的这一阵开场白引起大家一阵哄笑。这才听旁边的人介绍，原来他们已经表演过一场了，由于太过逼真，旁观有带手机的乡亲当即报了案，警察过来之后发现是演把戏就走了。 本来想走开的，但是这番话却引起了我的兴趣：是什么表演能把这些连春晚魔术都骂个狗血淋头的观众唬得一愣一愣的？刚想问问宋旭东什么是马街书会，却发现这小子不知道什么时候却没影了。 正四下里寻找的时候，场子里一阵紧似一阵的暖场锣鼓又把我的目光吸引回了场中央。只见一大一小两个年轻人已经换了短打扮的紧身衣服，腰间一条铜钉宽腰带，两人架势一拉显得分外精神，格外抖擞。 小点的那个孩子先上来铺了一块白布在地上，然后拿了两支胳膊粗细的檀香上来四下朝人打躬，大的那个用轻佻的语气说：“各位叔叔伯伯，刚才血淋哗啦吓着了大家，小辈用一个小把戏来赔罪。”说罢就拿起旁边的檀香往高处一举，眼角带着笑意对周围的人说，“那就是让这两支檀香来个近距离亲嘴！”他的话音刚一落地，四周便响起了轰然的大笑声。本来乡下人就是讲究个实在通俗，一说“亲嘴”这种暧昧字眼，好多汉子都咧了大嘴笑得开心，也不管媳妇在后面照背上使劲儿地拧掐。那些女孩子则是羞红了脸，轻轻地啐了一口。 “檀香亲嘴？”有意思，我也跟着傻呵呵直乐。只见那个大点的孩子很快就把两支檀香间隔三十厘米摆放在白布上，直起身子刚想说什么，却突然愣了一下，他的眼光直直地朝我这边看过来，本来一刻也不停的嘴巴突然停顿了一下，大家也顺着他的目光朝这边看，全场竟然静了片刻。大点的孩子似乎注意到了自己的失态，马上就笑着打开了圆场，快步走回了场中央，然后低声朝那个瘦弱的孩子低语了几句，那孩子也快速地朝我的方向瞥了一眼，回背后的小帐篷里拿出来一个小斗，可以看出来斗里面好似很多颗粒状的小丸。 我有点莫名其妙地看了看身边的几个人，都是一些老实巴交的乡下人，没有什么特别之处，难道是因为我的原因？我有点警觉地看了看自己的打扮，可是除了自己仓促之间借来的衣服稍微有点不合身之外，并没有其他特别的地方啊。 就在这时，听见场里一阵轰笑声，原来那两个孩子使尽了吃奶的力气，那两只檀香依然是稳稳当当地躺在白布上面一动也不动，那个大点的孩子疑惑地看着白布上躺的檀香，脸憋得通红。这时候就听见人群里有人说：“走吧，走吧，骗人的把戏有什么好看的？”那孩子恼怒地看了我一眼，看得我一脸的莫名其妙。 他好像下了什么决心，很坚决地掀开了白布，结果发现白布下面竟然有一大摊黄油，还有几根面条头，大孩子一看就来气了，狠狠地朝小孩子的屁股上踢了两脚，然后罚他点燃那两支檀香，手抓着扎马步蹲在东面，小孩刚好站在了上风头，檀香里一股甜丝丝的味道慢慢地飘了过来，让人心里一阵轻松。这股味道貌似很熟悉，让我不由得想起来很多的事情，而且这个味道的确在哪里嗅到过，但是我的脑海里却怎么也想不起来。 就在这个时候，人群里突然爆出一阵阵的喝彩声，我急忙探头朝里面看，顿时愣在那里，只见那张白布上布撒了一片黄豆，各个都做威武小人状，随着旁边大孩子手里面的小鼓做军士操演，时而一字长蛇，时而八字雁翔，随着大孩子的鼓点竟然在阵列变换之间嘬然有声。我目瞪口呆地看着白布上的一切，心里一片茫然，这简直是……还没等我反应过来，就听见身边的人都在窃窃私语，有的声音分外刺耳：“撒豆成兵啊？” 那种甜丝丝的檀香味还在空气中弥漫，声声入耳的鼓点每一下都打在了心上，左右一看，大家都一脸惊讶地看着场子中间的那块白布，目光都直愣愣地盯在那里，似乎有点不对劲儿，怎么身边突然之间没有嘈杂声了，只有我一个人在左顾右盼，而其他的人都似乎处于一种盲目的关注状态，我心里一动：“集体催眠？” 还没等这个念头在我脑海里生根，就听见一声狭长而悠远的屁声，听得出来，是刻意忍耐了好久，但是不得不为的，那种肃穆的气氛一下被打破了，四周的人在愣了一下以后全都放声大笑，本来在白布上虎踞龙盘的黄豆战士们也被这一屁给吹掉了威风，全部瘫痪在那里。这时候，那个大孩子的手刚好重重敲在鼓面上，牛皮鼓面应声而破。而这个屁声的始作俑者，那个可怜的瘦弱小孩子还是蹲着马步，双手擎着那两支檀香可怜兮兮地看着他，两眼含泪地说：“中午吃了个烤红薯！”本来就笑不可抑的人群此刻发出了更大的笑声。 那个大孩子手里拿着破了面的小鼓气得浑身直哆嗦，两眼发直，身体不断地颤抖着，而那个小孩子也低着头，差点儿哭出来。旁边的人此刻好像都也回过来神了，此刻也都三三两两地开始离开，只见那大孩子猛地一抬头，咬牙切齿地说：“你真是个冤家，妨父克母，临了还拖累我，要你有什么用？”说罢回头就冲回背后的小帐篷，转眼又从帐篷里虎蹿而出，手里拎了一柄明晃晃的钢刀和一个大桶，一个箭步蹿到小孩面前打掉他手里的檀香，用地上的白布裹了那个小孩的脑袋，一把就按进了桶里，接着他手起刀落。那小孩子发出一声惨叫，一股箭也似的血水直喷射出去，喷得周围一阵血雾荡起。那小孩子头扎进了大桶里，两只瘦弱的小手支撒着露在桶外。 大家全傻了，包括我也傻在了原地，真是太快了，快得简直难以让人阻挡，从他冲进帐篷到裹头杀人，前后不过用了几十秒，等人群里的大姑娘小媳妇后知后觉地发出尖叫声的时候，那个小男孩的血水已经流淌了一地，原本还随着血水喷射而抽搐的四肢不大会儿的工夫便软塌塌地耷拉在了桶边。 就在我怀疑只是一个魔术的时候，只见那个大孩子仿佛不解恨似的用刀狠狠地在小孩的脖子拉了几下，用手猛地朝桶里一按，然后猛地举起手来。只见半空悬了一颗脑袋，脸色苍白，双目紧闭，嘴唇紧咬，脖颈处还残留着淋淋漓漓的血液。 “啊！”人群里又爆起一阵惊呼声。好多老太太都直念佛，那个大孩子似乎也反应过来，回过了神，抱着那个人头“哇”地一声哭了出来。哭声凄惨，让周遭所有人都感觉自己似乎犯了不赦之罪。也不知道谁先开的头，有人开始往抱着头凄惨哭泣的大孩子身边放钱，不大会儿的工夫，各种面值的纸币林林总总放了一大堆。 哭了一会儿，那大孩子朝四周鞠了一躬：“各位叔叔大爷，您老一会儿还得做个见证，都先别走。”然后抽抽搭搭抱着孩子的身体和那个大桶往小帐篷里走去。
